The Markleen Silt Curtain is designed to be used in conjunction with a conventional containment boom when the problem is the presence of silt and sediments drifting in water, caused by dredging or other work being carried out in a port or harbour. These materials are often drifting at a greater depth than usually covered by the skirt of a ...

Constructions have to rely on the stability of the subsoild - but in most cases it is not as good as it should be. Geosynthetics are a good and easy-to-use alternative. For example sound barriers have to be built very steep. because there is not enough space between the road and the buildings. Often the only possibility is a reinforded wall. The ...

The best way to protect slopes from erosion is by vegetation. Nowadays, there is often not enough time to wait until new vegetation has grown sufficiently. There are a lot of different products to protect surface soils against wind and water erosion; some are made of plastics and some are made of natural fibres like coconut or straw, which rot ...

Granite geogrids are engineered meshes that are typically made up of a regular pattern of fairly rigid types of plastic. These nets or meshes are used to strengthen fill materials in geotechnical applications. They are designed specifically to reinforce, and permit heavy construction on sites with weak soils, eliminating most other foundation ...

The SedimentSTOP Biodegradable Filtration System consists of a 70% straw and 30% coconut-fiber matrix reinforced with 100% biodegradable netting that is rolled from edge to edge to create a highly-effective, temporary, three-dimensional, sediment-filtration structure.

Wind erosion is the main source of erosion in areas with arid climates. This can occur in two main ways: deflation and abrasion. Deflation moves particulates (dust) from one area to another. Abrasion occurs when the moving particulates come in contact with solid object.

Coastal Erosion is a natural occurrence on exposed and sheltered coasts alike. Currents, waves, and sea level changes directly affect erosion on the coast. While we as humans can contribute to the problem, we also can do our part to prevent it and restore our shorelines.

The causes of soil erosion can be broken down into two main categories: Erosion by Water and Erosion by Wind. Although soil erosion is a natural occurrence on all land, there are certain factors that call accelerate the erosion making it more noticeable and problematic. With the help of products like coir mats, woven geotextiles, and non-woven ...

Silt Curtain manufactured by NorLense prevents polluted mud from the sea floor spread through the water collum. Silt Curtain conists of a freeboard containing expanded polystyrene, see NO-250-F or NO-350-F. No air filling required. The skirt is manufactured of a special membrane which only allows water to pass through. The skirt is adapted to the ...
